Meanwhile on the Island of Koh Kood - "The Rubber Plantation" - Thailand #39.

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

As mentioned in our first article in this blog, we travel through the South East Asian countries to meet the people and experience the wonders of nature around us.

Today, we drive a scooter on the island of Koh Kood in Thailand, near the Cambodian border when we see many bowls filled with a white substance : we found a small rubber plantation!

The rubber dries in the sun.

Scratching trees (ouch!) to collect the sap that flows gently.


This machine is supposed to extract the rubber from the bowls.

This is a small family farm located south of the island.

Resulting in raw rubber, ready to be sent to Bangkok.

I love seeing the native people doing their craft. Awesome pictures.

Thank you.

One should be inspired and mix good values found here and there.
